    What do you wish you'd have known when you started?

    I wish I had known how to convince my partner sooner to get chickens. They are so much fun and everyone loves them.

    My Pet Chicken ???

    Mine are almost 8 weeks old and doing great. I ordered from them because I could get a small number, and they sex bantams so I have 4 chicks and 4 bantams. My problem was that they messed up my order a bit as I was missing 1 buff chantecler and 1 EE. That being said if everyone turns out to be a...

    newbie shopping list. What do I really need?

    My guess would be the newsprint would be too slippery, maybe shred it? The grit I just used like salt over the grain every 3 days or so when they are eating treats.

    Good treats for baby chicks?

    My chicks are 4 weeks old and their favorite treat is grapes, they pick them up from my hand and then run away with them. It's so much fun to watch.

    Play toys in brooder

    Mine have a little turtle toy that they love, a pine cone, a toilet roll, the cardboard cup holders from a fast food place and one of those cat balls. I only put 2 in at once and like to change things around every day. The stuffed turtle toy is by far their favorite.

    Bantam chick with leg injury

    Sorry no picture but I can work on that if it would help. I have a 5 day old bantam chick who arrived with my other chicks. She lifts her left leg up all the time. Nothing is broken in her leg as far as I can tell and she has put some weight on it but doesn't seem to have control of her foot...

    My chicks arrived!

    What an exciting few days. Yesterday one of my ewes had twin lambs and today my fuzzy butts arrived! I ordered from MPC and they shipped yesterday. The order was a little wrong as I am missing an EE and a buff chantecler. I have called and let them know already. Everyone else is healthy and...
